Method 360 ANC

I bought these after sending back some Marshall headphones. I've been using skullcandy since 2010! I can honestly say these headphones sound incredible. The fit is brilliant with several options for different size rubber inserts. The case is nice and chunky and feels good quality. I got the white ones which I usually go for black or red but thought I'd try something different. They do however look a little bit like an old fashioned hearing aid. I think the skull logo on the earbuds should have been red. But overall very impressed. The ANC Is great. Can't speak for the battery life yet because I've only had them for 12 hours. Not sure how long it will last. But value for money is great. Well done skullcandy and Bose.

Sound quality is excellent. The bass is punchy and powerful, yet well controlled, so it never muddies the mids or highs. Vocals and instruments stay clear even on bass-heavy tracks. Sound imaging is a real highlight. For earbuds, the soundstage is surprisingly wide and spacious, with good separation between instruments. It never feels cramped or “in your head,” which makes music much more engaging. ANC is very good, especially for the price. I own AirPods Pro 3, but the strong occlusion effect and ear discomfort make their top-tier ANC and detail meaningless to me in real use. Comfort matters more than specs. The ergonomic design is the biggest win. The shallow ear tips combined with the wingtip support completely solve the discomfort issue. No deep ear-canal pressure, no underwater feeling. I can wear these all day without any soreness. I know Bose QuietComfort earbuds use a similar shallow-fit design, but I haven’t tried them so I can’t compare directly. What I can say is that for the price, I’m extremely happy with the Method 360. If they ever break, I would buy the same model again without hesitation.

I recently purchased these after losing a smaller wireless earbud set. I am a heavy headphone user as I have to travel often for work so after losing my cheaper smaller pair I decided to upgrade to a pair with ANC. I used skull candy headphones many years ago when you could find the wired version in pretty much every HMV in the country. They were much cheaper then and the audio quality wasn’t ideal but for the price they were acceptable. I read a few reviews on these and decided to take the plunge with skull candy again. Pros: The look of these are super cool. I opted for the leopard print pair, and I really like how they look, all around in terms of design. I also appreciated the size of the charging/storage case as it’s a lot more difficult for this to slip away from me unnoticed like my previous pair, but more on this later. The audio quality is decent. I work in live music as a technician, and although my specialty is not audio, I’d like to think I have a reasonably good ear, especially as my role requires me to use in ear monitors every day. These sound absolutely fine. Are they on par with my IEMs? Absolutely not, but they are far and beyond better than my last pair of ear buds, and after a little equalizing I’m happy with how they sound. They’re for commuting, not for working, and I’m happy with how they sound. They also work fine for calls. The ANC is also very good. They’re don’t completely block out the sound but as you switch between ‘sound aware on’ -‘sound aware off’ and ‘ANC’ on, there’s a noticeable difference between the three settings. I’m currently sat in a pub waiting for a colleague which is playing insanely loud music, and the ANC is taking the edge off to a great degree even without any music playing. The functionality of the earbuds themselves is good too. It’s really easy to control them by tapping the unit - 3 taps to scroll through the ANC settings, one tap for pause play ect - you can also customise these tap functions in the app. It’s super responsive, maybe a little too much sometimes as I’ve accidentally paused my music once or twice, but overall using the buds is great. The are comfy, which is extremely important for me, and 3x sets of silicone bits are included to adjust for where required. Cons: I should really say ‘Con’ as there is only one, albeit absolutely glaring issue with these buds, and that’s the design of the charging case. In terms of size and shape I like it, but open it up and I cannot even begin to describe how anti ergonomic this thing is. As you look at it, L and R are swapped over, so you take the left bud out only for it to be upside down and on the wrong side of your body. Also, I find myself having to tap the buds once back in place just to make sure the contacts have met and they are charging - I learnt this was necessary the hard way. I’m really really surprised that so mine designed this, submitted the design, and then this nonsensical case passed various product tests. Very strange. If this was addressed I would enjoy using them even more. All round, give what you’re paying for them, they’re a decent set of buds, I’d probably buy them again assuming they have longevity long term too. I’ll just have to get used to juggling them in and out of the case!

While the physical design is excellent and the sound wonderful (having borrowed a set from a friend), the earbuds are being returned as faulty. On Android, the Skull IQ app was finally fixed a few days after my purchase but still weeks, if not months, after the problem was first raised. The dismissive attitude of Skullcandy just further soured the experience. Once the app was fixed, the problems continued: - Randomly connecting and disconnecting during playback and calls despite only being connected to a single device and multi-pairing disabled; this happening several times an hour. - One earbud randomly switching off and not coming back on (mostly but not always the left), resulting in having to disconnect and reconnect. - Earbuds do not disconnect in the holder unless all devices have been unpaired or their Bluetooth switched off. - Failing to charge in the holder, despite ensuring they are seated properly, resulting in flat batteries in the earbuds. - Stay-Aware activating on removing an earbud (helpful) but not disengaging when putting earbud back in, often switching off the earbud. - Charging case/holder easily falls open resulting in dropped earbuds. These earbuds are fundamentally broken and should never have been released to the public. Any half-decent quality control or user testing should have spotted these flaws. A premium product with a premium price that has nothing premium about them (apart from the Bose drivers).

Great great set. App control is easy and the ANC function really is incredible. Also last location function works great if you ever misplace them. The large case and design is actually very attractive and functional. Probably the best earphones at this price range I have purchased and intact better than some higher range priced sets. Connectivity is simple and battery life is good. The additional spare components make fit perfect. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely fantastic Earphones! Everything about these are amazing. I have had a fair amount of earphones and headphones of all different brands in the past, but these are probably the best value earphones I have ever had my hands on. The build quality of the earbuds and charging case are very nice, love the ‘clip it and rip it’ functionality of the design of these. Makes it fun but practical simultaneously. Very comfortable to wear straight out the box, only problem i have faced is the slight hiccup in playback. But if im honest that is the only complaint I have of these. Skullcandy are now my go to audio accessory company, unbeaten value hands down.

Really loved these Earbuds from the sound quality and especially bass.. the noise cancelling was solid and how they much can be configured through the app and even the charging case that I see mixed reviews on.. but to me just added to the overall feel and quality. Unfortunately after 5 months was just wearing and something didn't quite feel right, took out the right bud only to see that it had separated in the middle and looking at the quality of the sealing glue etc I was really surprised.. Long story short and BIG THANKS TO AMAZON I got a refund and decided to go for something else.. once bitten twice shy.

Best in ear headphones I’ve had, fitted into my small ears straight from the packet, had to configure the equaliser to my needs though the app which was easy. Charging case is a brilliant size for me as at least I can find them in my bag easily compared to my iPods 😆. Worn them all day without ear fatigue sometimes I forget they are in!! Best £99 spent, battery life is good 😊 x
